Rostov head coach Jonathan Alba praised the abilities of Dynamo Moscow and Russian national team coach Valeria Karpina. In his interview, the Spaniard stated the following: “He’s not just good, he’s the best in Russia and one of the best coaches in the world. I say that because he’s my friend. I know what I’m talking about: I’ve worked in Spain, Romania, I have friends from Italy, France, and England. I know how Karpin works and what kind of head coach he is.” At Karpin’s invitation, Alba landed a job on the Rostov coaching staff in 2018. After Valery Georgievich parted ways with the Rostov club in February of this year, the Spaniard was given the position of head coach of the “yellow-blue” club. Source link
